I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that, but it'd certainly be
a good guideline for the future.

For the current batch of "stale" ports, I guess the best thing to do
would be for us to forc^H^H^H^Hvolunteer someone into the role of
temporary janitor, their job being to look for ports submissions which
are languishing in the PR database and are not also out of date, then
sending these two lists to ports@freebsd.org (the first list being
"close me" PRs and the second being "commit me, somebody!" PRs).

That would be a good first step, methinks, to avoid having to have
*all* the ports collection committers go through the same massive
open PR list.  Any suck^H^H^H^Hnice volunteers out there? :-)
